加州总检察长邦塔发布警员枪击调查报告 Grover Beach案证据不足以起诉
加利福尼亚州总检察长Rob Bonta 11月13日在奥克兰发布调查报告，就2024年5月25日圣路易斯奥比斯波县Grover Beach发生的警员枪击致死案公布结论：加州司法部经全面调查后认定，现有证据不足以对涉案警员提起刑事起诉，本案不再采取进一步行动。
报告还原了事发经过：当日Grover Beach警方先接报Aaron Gardner持手枪威胁他人，未能找到其人；约10分钟后又接报Gardner向过往车辆与路人投掷石块。警员找到Gardner后，他声称持有武器并将枪藏在身后，多次拒绝放下武器的警告，随后将枪口指向警员，警员开枪将其击毙。事后查明，Gardner所持为一把塑料仿格洛克气枪式复制品。
依加州AB 1506法案，州司法部须调查所有涉及无武装平民死亡的警员枪击案。报告同时提出五项政策建议，包括改善圣路易斯奥比斯波县警长通讯中心与出警警员之间的关键信息传递、完善Grover Beach警局危机干预政策与培训、加强等待支援与降级处置战术训练等。邦塔表示，希望报告能为Grover Beach社区与受影响者提供一个清楚的交代，并重申司法部对执法透明与问责的承诺。

California Attorney General Bonta Releases Officer-Involved Shooting Report in Grover Beach Case, Finds No Basis for Charges
California Attorney General Rob Bonta on November 13 released a report in Oakland on the May 25, 2024, officer-involved shooting death of Aaron Gardner in Grover Beach, San Luis Obispo County, concluding after a thorough investigation that the evidence does not support filing criminal charges and that no further action will be taken in the case.
According to the report, Grover Beach police first responded to a 911 call about Gardner threatening a person with a handgun but could not locate him. About ten minutes later, an officer responded to a second call about Gardner throwing rocks at passing vehicles and passersby. Once located, Gardner stated he was armed, held the gun behind his back and repeatedly ignored warnings to drop it; after he aimed the gun at the officer, the officer fired, fatally wounding him. Gardner's handgun was later found to be a plastic, Glock-style replica.
Under Assembly Bill 1506, the California Department of Justice must investigate every officer-involved shooting resulting in the death of an unarmed civilian. The report also makes five policy recommendations, covering dispatch communication between the San Luis Obispo Sheriff's Communication Center and responding officers, finalizing the Grover Beach Police Department's draft crisis intervention policy and training, additional training on waiting for backup in high-risk encounters, de-escalation tactics using time, distance and cover, and aligning the department's de-escalation policy with current state law. Bonta said he hopes the report provides clarity to the Grover Beach community and those personally affected.
